stormdogI have the house all to myself tonight. What am I gonna do?? I'm going to...eat some spinach pierogies! And go to bed early! Yeah!! Party! Party!
But first, feeding my obsession with piano music, translating chords and music between instruments, and the Moonlight Sonata, give these a listen:
Wilhelm Kempff playing the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata. The man looks as though he's meditating in front of the piano, which I suppose he is in a way. (And if you think that's impressive, watch him play the third movement. Watch his fingers!)
A Youtube account holder going by Makerandthebreaker playing the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata on a harp. I'm impressed with they way she seems to reach out and flip the sharping levers without even looking as she plays. Impressive.
And a guitarist plays the same piece on a classical guitar.
Good stuff! Just thought I'd share them.
Now there needs to be a video of all of them together, accompanied by a thereminist. Who wants to contribute?
I'm just starting to work on getting the hang of figuring out what notes are under what fingers as I move my hands up the keyboard, so I'm a long way off yet.... And I have a feeling I'll never be that good on a guitar.

And not really related, but full-to-bursting with win and awesome is this rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody on a classical guitar, complete with vocal parts. Amazing!
